Curiosity got me. Couldn't leave well enough alone. Did some research.
To download a list of packages that are already installed:
apt-get -d --reinstall install <list of packages>
To download all packages currently installed:
apt-get -d --reinstall upgrade
Should work, but doesn't for at least my apt version (0.5.15cnc6), which
is running on Fedora Core 2 using rpm's. Or maybe:
apt-get declean or
apt-get dirty
But, alas not valid. The information on what is installed is in
/var/cache/apt/lists (/var/cache/apt/genpkglists on Fedora). Except,
that directory is empty on my machine, and a binary file seems to have
the information, /var/cache/apt/genpkglists.bin -- maybe only on
RPM/Fedora machines.
Now that you have my curiosity up, I will have to check yum and
redcarpet. Have better things to do, but just got to know now!
Good luck,
- Peter
